better watch it in 3D, not disappointing but it still has so many wasted potential

Rating: 7/10 (11 July 2013)

after watching Pacific Rim premiere in theatre
actually the premise of the movie is pretty much the cliché one...a world apocalypse. what was made it different from another American film is the concept of "giant robot" with similar synchronization control with a certain famous japan robot animation and the Japanese concept of big monster vs big robot.
the graphic, the robot , the action is in the top tier. i can't argue that this film is the orgasm drug for robot and machine hardcore fans and geek, it delivers the mean of showing you enjoyable action with giant robot who punch and got punched with big monster named "Kaiju".
although it has a awesome CG action, and actually a good storyline....., but it's a shame that this film still has some wasted potential in it. the setting of the world, some characterization (especially at another pilot), tension building, useless character and, the prolonged flashback, and some wasted scene, are still in it and with a shame...this film get a "C" Point for the first, second and third factor.
anyway it's the film which better watched with 3D for the impact, because the story didn't really have any twist and surprise in it...... and the tension in top of that.
give it a score 7/10
